Possible and possibly desirable. They are interesting creatures. But what fad would interest them enough to take it up and, er, swim with it? Seaweed garlands around their tails? The latest post punk ghost net fin streamers? I really liked the salmon hat thing that the Washington (I think) pod had going there for a while. Certainly these creatures are well able to mess with researchers' heads. Sort of like cats in a way.

I think the real question is, how do orcas get the salmon to stay on their heads as hats?

They are really big salmons. Plus I think they only wear them for a while, eat them, then get another one.
